Corinthe

The spot mainly works with a NW wind, announced as the best orientation by several guides and field reports. According to sources, Lechaio is a spot for flat to small waves, making it interesting when the wind is well established and the sea remains clean. Navigation generally occurs in side-shore to side-on depending on the exact angle of the flow, which remains more comfortable than a distinctly onshore or offshore wind.

The launch is from a beach with a launch area that needs to be organized carefully, especially on busy days. The bottom is generally considered navigable for kiting, with a fairly open navigation area, but one should remain attentive to the edges and the available space near the shore. According to consulted guides, the spot is rather oriented towards intermediate riders, with real interest for more advanced riders when the wind picks up and small waves form.

The water surface changes little with the tide in local kitesurfing use, as the area remains navigable over a wide range of conditions. The best sessions occur when the wind is clean and consistent, with enough pressure to hold the kite without experiencing too much lulls. The spot is coherent for short or long navigation depending on the wind orientation and the state of the sea.
